At West Chester Pet Resort, we’re more than a boarding and daycare facility; we’re a luxury retreat where pets come to play, relax, and be cared for like royalty. Our nearly 5-acre resort was built with every detail in mind, from off-leash parks to deluxe suites and secure fencing. We’re looking for a SeasonalKennel Attendant to join our close-knit team and help us keep tails wagging and paws playing- safely, joyfully, and with plenty of love.
We’re located in a beautiful area surrounded by trails, shops, and parks - with easy access to Richmond for city convenience. Whether you’re local or relocating, you’ll find a warm welcome and a whole lot of wagging tails.
Why you'll love us:
Because we take “best friend” seriously. We offer premium pet boarding, supervised daycare, exotic pet stays, and more- all designed for comfort, fun, and peace of mind. With Chester Animal Clinic right next door, our guests are never far from expert care if needed. Here, you won’t just work—you’ll play, bond, and make a difference in the lives of pets and the people who love them.
You might be a great fit if you:
Love animals and understand how to read their behavior.
Are dependable, hardworking, and not afraid to get a little messy.
Can multitask in a fast-paced, active environment.
Have strong communication skills and a caring attitude.
Take pride in making pets (and their people) feel confident and cared for.
Are eager to learn and be part of a team that lifts each other up.
What you'll be doing:
- Monitoring off-leash playtime (group and individual) for boarding and daycare guests.
- Feeding pets according to schedule and administering medications as directed.
- Cleaning, sanitizing, and prepping all boarding and play areas.
- Keeping a close eye on physical and emotional well-being, if something seems off, you’ll notice.
- Bathing pets and making sure they stay clean and comfy.
- Supporting enrichment, exercise, and socialization so pets go home happy and tired.
- Maintaining a calm, positive, and professional demeanor with pets and people alike.
What's in it for you?
- Competitive pay, based on experience
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP) – Free to Encore employees and anyone in their household
- Automatic enrollment in Encore’s 401K plan on the 1st of the month following 60 days of employment
- Discounts on certain services, inventory, and labs applicable
- Sick time per state requirements
